| Summary | This is one work in a series by Minne using the motif of kneeling nude youths, a theme most fully realized in his major work, The Fountain of Kneeling Youths. The thin, willowy youth displays little muscular definition. However, this simplified treatment of the body conveys a profound sense of introspection. His fragile arms suggest that he is carrying a reliquary whose weight transcends the purely physical, while his downcast face suggests melancholy and grief. The mellow translucence of the marble enhances the figure's spiritual quality. Created at a time when artists were moving away from naturalism and embracing religious sentiment, this work demonstrates Minne's attempt to fuse body and spirit. |
